Yeah, Happy New Year!

I apologize for not commenting on blogs since the new year and checking out all your yummies. I have been coming home and going to bed with my humidifier and cat. Seriously crazy amounts of sleep - like going to bed at 7:10 pm. I'm starting to feel a bit better now and am still in awe of those great scientists who created The Wonderful World of Antibiotics.

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie, Rebecca of Ezra Pound Cake chose Savory Corn and Pepper Muffins on page 6. I love, love, love her blog!! Be sure to check it out for the recipe and for all her yummy delights.

I can't really tell you how these tasted...since I'm not the best judge at the moment. But they certainly are more colorful than your regular corn muffin! Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers! And stay healthy!!!!

feel better soon! I myself have been sick since December 20th and am still ill. it's fun huh? In fact, I have two friends with babies, and my cold is OLDER THEN THEIR CHILDREN. I'm not complaining but I giving the tenor of your post I figured I could commiserate with you. by the way your muffins look lovely!

Feel better soon! I've been doing almost anything I can think of to avoid getting sick and I'm crossing my fingers that it works. Not being able to taste things is the worst too. They look great though. I froze the rest of mine. Hopefully they'll freeze well and I can continue to enjoy them.

You have to get well, there is so much great baking and tasting to do this year. I do hope you are feeling better by the time you read your comments. Your muffins look great and they were good, even tho' you couldn't really taste them.

Yikes...girlfriend, feel better soon... this is not the way to start the new year! Your dedication to TWD is awe-inspiring...even being under the weather, you turned out some delicious looking muffins.

Man! I am so sorry that you've been so sick. Obviously, Kleenex has been loving you. I hope it was the ones with lotion in them...your poor nose! Nice job on the muffins. Hope you enjoyed them!! Feel better soon. :o)

Now that's dedication: getting off your sickbed and baking and posting your TWD recipe - a baker has to have her priorities, right? And you know it's bad when Zicam doesn't knock it out. I seriously love that stuff. I hope you saved some muffins for the return of your sense of taste, and that you like them. I put extra spice in ours - no colds here, we just like them that way. They were yummy. Yours look amazing.Nancy

Ah so glad you are on the mend and sorry to hear you've been choking the cold virus. A holiday to remember.....boo hoo. Stellar effort on your carousel of colors muffins. Isn't it amazing how vibrant they are? Glad you had a change of pace. Get well soon.AmyRuth

Oh you poor thing. Im so sorry you have been sick. I hate that sudefed meth stuff(hee-hee) it makes me feel real strange. Anyways your muffins are wonderful and I hope your better by the time next TWD comes around!PS I swear that Zicam works..

aawww you poor sick thing! Sending healthy immune boosting vibes your way! Love the muffin innards picture. Love all the chunks. I definitely need to add more corn to mine next time. The more corn chunks the better! Get well soon!Clara @ iheartfood4thought
